Her Parents Bought Her An Apartment, But After They Allowed Her Younger Brother To Move In Too, She Moved Out
How would you feel about your sibling moving into your college apartment with you?
One college student is facing backlash from her parents after moving out of the off-campus apartment they purchased after her partying younger brother moved in.
When she chose which college she wanted to attend, her parents decided to purchase an apartment near the campus. It was an investment, and since she’s quite introverted and somewhat anti-social, it was the perfect place to live all by herself.
Things were going great in the apartment for two years, and her being able to have her own space made her a little more social. She even met her boyfriend at the campus store!
Then, things started falling apart with her living situation when her little brother graduated high school and decided to go to the same school as her. But, instead of him starting in the dorms, he convinced his parents to let him move into the apartment with her.
“I lasted one semester,” she explained. “Since he had an off-campus residence, my apartment became party central.”
She tried to get her parents to talk to her brother and get him to quiet things down around the apartment, but they told her to “lighten up.” So, she decided to move out.
She was able to get a single room in one of the campus dorms and took her most important things out of the apartment.
Things were going really well, and she decided not to tell her parents about her move. But of course, her brother told them.

Her parents called her upset, saying they spent a lot of money on that apartment and called her unappreciative.
She explained to them that she very much appreciated living in the apartment but couldn’t stand living with her brother, who was becoming a mess.
Once he lived alone in the nice apartment, her brother began skipping classes and frequently getting noise complaints from neighbors. It got to the point where the police shut down his parties.
Now, her parents are asking her to move back into the apartment, not for her convenience, but so she can keep an eye on her brother.
He’s at risk of being put on academic probation. She asked if she could make him stop hosting as many parties at the apartment, but once her brother protested, they gave her an unexpected answer.
“My parents said he was allowed some freedom and that as his big sister, I should look out for him and not let him fail,” she said. “I thanked them for the opportunity but declined.”
Her parents are still upset with her over the situation and are even considering selling the apartment.
What do you think a better solution to this issue would be?
